mosaic floor of the 3rd AD. century, depicting the rapture of

● Some, however, set fire to the mosaic,
causing enormous damage, and so the
archeological service has since covered
the mosaic with gravel to save what is
left, making it impossible to see it again
with one's own eyes.

17. The oath of Hippocrates in modern Greek and English
Ορκίζομαι στο θεό Απόλλωνα τον ιατρό και στο θεό Ασκληπιό και στην Υγεία και
στην Πανάκεια και επικαλούμενος τη μαρτυρία όλων των θεών ότι θα εκτελέσω κατά
τη δύναμη και την κρίση μου τον όρκο αυτόν και τη συμφωνία αυτή.Να θεωρώ τον
διδάσκαλό μου της ιατρικής τέχνης ίσο με τους γονείς μου και την κοινωνό του βίου
μου. Και όταν χρειάζεται χρήματα να μοιράζομαι μαζί του τα δικά μου. Να θεωρώ την
οικογένειά του αδέλφια μου και να τους διδάσκω αυτήν την τέχνη αν θέλουν να την
μάθουν χωρίς δίδακτρα ή άλλη συμφωνία.Να μεταδίδω τους κανόνες ηθικής, την
προφορική διδασκαλία και όλες τις άλλες ιατρικές γνώσεις στους γιους μου, στους
γιους του δασκάλου μου και στους εγγεγραμμένους μαθητές που πήραν τον ιατρικό
όρκο, αλλά σε κανέναν άλλο.Θα χρησιμοποιώ τη θεραπεία για να βοηθήσω τους
ασθενείς κατά τη δύναμη και την κρίση μου, αλλά ποτέ για να βλάψω ή να αδικήσω.
Ούτε θα δίνω θανατηφόρο φάρμακο σε κάποιον που θα μου το ζητήσει, ούτε θα του
κάνω μια τέτοια υπόδειξη.Παρομοίως, δεν θα εμπιστευτώ σε έγκυο μέσο που προκαλεί
έκτρωση. Θα διατηρώ αγνή και άσπιλη και τη ζωή και την τέχνη μου. Δεν θα
χρησιμοποιώ νυστέρι ούτε σε αυτούς που πάσχουν από λιθίαση, αλλά θα παραχωρώ
την εργασία αυτή στους ειδικούς της τέχνης.Σε όσα σπίτια πηγαίνω, θα μπαίνω για να
βοηθήσω τους ασθενείς και θα απέχω από οποιαδήποτε εσκεμμένη βλάβη και φθορά,
και ιδίως από γενετήσιες πράξεις με άνδρες και γυναίκες, ελεύθερους και δούλους. Και
όσα τυχόν βλέπω ή ακούω κατά τη διάρκεια της θεραπείας ή και πέρα από τις
επαγγελματικές μου ασχολίες στην καθημερινή μου ζωή, αυτά που δεν πρέπει να
μαθευτούν παραέξω δεν θα τα κοινοποιώ, θεωρώντας τα θέματα αυτά μυστικά.Αν
τηρώ τον όρκο αυτό και δεν τον παραβώ, ας χαίρω πάντοτε υπολήψεως ανάμεσα
στους ανθρώπους για τη ζωή και για την τέχνη μου. Αν όμως τον παραβώ και
επιορκήσω, ας πάθω τα αντίθετα.
I swear to the god Apollo the physician and to the god Asclepius and to Health and
Panacea and invoking the testimony of all the gods that I will carry out this oath and
this agreement according to my power and judgment.To consider my medical teacher
equal to my parents and the community of my life. And when I need money to share
mine with him. To consider his family my brothers and to teach them this art if they
want to learn it without tuition or other agreement.To pass on the rules of ethics,
oral instruction and all other medical knowledge to my sons, to my teacher's sons and
to the enrolled students who took the medical oath, but to no one else.I will use
therapy to help patients in my strength and judgment, but never to hurt or wrong. I
will not give deadly medicine to anyone who asks me for it, nor will I make such a
suggestion.Likewise, I will not trust a pregnant woman who causes an abortion. I will
keep my life and my art pure and undefiled. I will not use a scalpel even for those who
suffer from lithiasis, but I will entrust this work to art experts.In all the houses I go to,
I will enter to help the sick and I will abstain from any deliberate harm and decay, and
especially from sexual acts with men and women, free and slaves. And whatever I see
or hear during the treatment or beyond my professional activities in my daily life, I
will not share what should not be learned, considering these issues secret.If I keep this
oath and do not break it, let me always enjoy respect among people for my life and for
my art. But if I violate it and swear, let me suffer the opposite.
